Starting with the terminal and editor, yes quite easy.
Then there’s the giant project monstrosity you mentioned.
The sizable stage in between is what most fail to mention, pyflakes. You can get very far with just pyflakes and some tests if you’re a good developer. It finds the first 80% of bugs with very low effort. Most of my projects need nothing else.
The biggest will benefit from flake8 and typing as well, but there is a bit of a cost in complexity. Paid for with piece of mind.
